Review of The Flesh (2010) by Timmy R — 31 Oct 2008
I'm not sure if it can be considered Noe's most accessible film (or medium length film), if anything can, but I would consider it his most humane. While "I Stand Alone" is heavily nihilistic and "Irreversible" is a bit too unfocused and intimidating, "Carne" has a true heart.
Much of Noe's work is intent on assaulting the audience, but here it feels just tolerable enough to have an impact that doesn't scare us away. The fact that Noe isn't yet trying SO hard to push buttons makes the sad and disturbing elements more powerful.
